Leeds United will be desperate to put an end to their London hoodoo when they face QPR in Saturday's early kick-off at Loftus Road.

The Whites, who will make the trip to the capital desperate to bounce back from their Yorkshire derby defeat to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday, have seemed to suffer a serious sense of stage fright when tasked with the challenge of playing in the capital.

In Leeds' last 10 visits to London, they have emerged victorious on just one occasion, which, ultimately, was 10 games ago, meaning they are winless on their last nine trips to The Big Smoke. During that run, Leeds have lost eight, conceding 14 times in the process.

But one factor about this weekend's game that could prove to be a good omen for Marcelo Bielsa, who is yet to taste victory in London, and his players is that their last London away day success was, indeed, against QPR at Loftus Road, all the way back in December 2017.

Here, LeedsLive takes a close look at Leeds' last 10 trips to London and just where it has all gone wrong...

Arsenal 1-0 Leeds United - January 6, 2020

The Whites' most recent visit to London came as recently as last week when they faced Arsenal in the third round of the FA Cup at the Emirates Stadium.

After an outstanding performance in the first half, the Whites were unable to make their dominance count and fell to a 1-0 defeat thanks to Reiss Nelson's scruffy second half strike.

Fulham 2-1 Leeds United - December 21, 2019

Leeds' most recent league visit to London also ended in defeat, going down 2-1 to fellow promotion hopefuls Fulham.

After Patrick Bamford had cancelled out Aleksandar Mitrovic's early penalty, Fulham re-took the lead through Josh Onomah to seal all three points.

Millwall 2-1 Leeds United - October 5, 2019

Just like the dubious call to give Fulham a penalty in the game at Craven Cottage, Leeds were on the receiving end of another poor refereeing decision when they faced Millwall back in October, as Gaetano Berardi was wrongly sent off.

Trailing 2-0 at half time, Leeds did pull a goal back immediately after the re-start through Ezgjan Alioski but it was not enough to end their long-running London curse.

Charlton Athletic 1-0 Leeds United - September 28, 2019

Just a week prior to the Millwall defeat, Leeds had been beaten by Charlton Athletic at The Valley, going down 1-0.

Despite dominating for much of the contest, the Whites were undone by Macauley Bonne's first half goal.

Brentford 2-0 Leeds United - April 22, 2019

With Leeds' automatic promotion hopes hanging by a thread last April, they travelled to Brentford knowing that they had to win to keep the dream alive.

But, as so often, Leeds crumbled under the London pressure and fell to a 2-0 defeat. Neal Maupay and Sergi Canos were on target for the Bees.
